Periodic means repeating.
When Mendeleev was rearranging the elements, he noticed that some of their properties matched with one another about every eight elements. Thus, when the elements are arranged in the rows of the Periodic Table, they also have matching properties in each column.

∙ 14y agoThe periodic table is a method of listing elements which groups elements with similar properties together. It was noticed that if the elements were listed in order of Atomic Mass there was a distinctive pattern of characteristics that repeated itself every 8 elements. There were slight imperfections due to the fact that it was not the atomic mass but the nuclear charge that determined the properties (the nuclear charge could not be measured directly but was related closely to the atomic mass)
The modern periodic table was formed by Dmitri Mendeleev. He even left gaps which he (correctly) predicted would be filled by elements not yet discovered.

∙ 11y agoThe word "periodic" means recurring in a predictable pattern. It's the same as a magazine that is published bi-weekly being called a "periodical;" or a woman's menstrual "period," which comes about once a month. On the periodic table, certain properties of elements recur, and if the elements are arranged a certain way, these recurring properties can be organized in a meaningful way that makes predictability and generalizations possible.

What is the cause of periodicity amongst elements in periodic table?
as the no of valence electrons are same down the group
How did the periodic table get its name?
Based on the periodicity of the elements regarding properties, reactivity, valence electrons, etc.
What are the horizontal collum called in the periodic table?
There seems to be a typo in your question. If you meant a "horizontal row" (left to right) of the periodic table, those are called periods. If you meant a "vertical column" (up and down) of the periodic table, those are called groups.
Is periodicity defined as the fact that elements increase in atomic mass in a regular way?
No, the periodicity of the Periodic Table of Elements refers to the fact that the chemical properties of elements vary in a periodic way, from metals on the left hand side of the table to non-metals and then to noble gases in the far right hand column. Each row goes through the same variations. There is nothing periodic about the increase in mass; that would be described as a linear progression rather than a periodic phenomenon.
What is periodic in the periodic table?
The modern periodic table is modified form of the mossleys periodic table,which was yet modifiied form of the mendileevs periodic table,which was based on the principle-atomic mass is the periodic function of the elements.Mossley changed the periodicity of elements to be the periodic functions of their atomic numbers.hence in the modern periodic table we can find,the repeatation of certain properties of elements after definite intervals and hence the periodic table has groups and periods the elements inside which,are similar.this is possible because across a period electrons increase by 1,keeping shells sama,and down a group,outer electrons remain same,but shells increase by1.
What did mendeleev mean by periodicity of properties?
what he meant by it was it meant the same as periodic table.
What is the periodic table according to?
This is the law of periodicity.
What is the pattern in repeating the properties of elements in the periodic table known as?
Periodicity, or periodic law.
What is an example of periodicity?
A good example of periodicity would be the size of an atom which decreases across the Periodic Table but increases down the column
The pattern of repeating properties of elements revealed in the periodic table is known as what?
Periodicity, or periodic law.
What organization governs the periodic table?
This is the law of chemical properties periodicity.
What are the different features of periodic table?
- the periodic table is organized in periods and groups- chemical elements are listed in the order of the atomic number- the periodic table obey the law of periodicity
What does periodicity means on the periodic table?
Periodic means repetition. Properties of elements are found to be periodic when arranged in order of atomic number.
What is the cause of periodicity amongst elements in periodic table?
as the no of valence electrons are same down the group
How did the periodic table get its name?
Based on the periodicity of the elements regarding properties, reactivity, valence electrons, etc.
How do the atomic numbers of the elements with in each of group 1 2 and 13-18 of the periodic table vary?
Mendeleev's Periodic Table -- the reason for periodicity -- is explained by the arrangement of the electrons around the nucleus. *Read your chemistry book* :D
What are Dmitri Mendeleev's discoveries except the periodic table are?
Periodic Principles Law of Periodicity Periodic Table of Toxic Elements These are three of the many discoveries Dmitri Mendeleev researched during his life (1834-1907).
